We walk by it all the time, alas, our cat is so low maintenance he prefers playing with zip ties over cat toys and will not touch fancy cat food.

Walked by it yesterday and commented, again, what a handsome building it is! Fingers crossed on all appendages!

Oh crap.

Sadly, I agree. My family immigrated to Canada in 1982 and we started out in Red Deer before moving to Edmonton, which became my home base between multiple moves, near and far. My partner is a born-and-bred Albertan. But both of us feel we can no longer recognize this place and the kind of...

Better put up a sign so that nobody's tempted to try and sell it!

I love how the copper breaks the endless grey. It's such a gorgeous finish!

I often wonder where I stand with that crowd. I'm white and have been here for 40+ years, but I certainly wasn't born here. Am I supposed to skedaddle or can I stay if I promise to get me a cowboy hat?

How cool to have bits and pieces of your life commemorated in street names!

Maybe, but it still looms over the neighbour, is architecturally dull, and contributes nothing to the pleasantness of the area. My cousin's family lives down this street and it went from being a very cute, cozy place filled with character, to an area of gargantuan, hideous, inelegant blocks that...
